Chapter 326: Chapter 326: The Magical Tang Tang

Jiang Taoshi glanced at the time, immediately shut down her computer, gathered her belongings and did it all in one go.

She then carried her bag and went to Ruan Hongzhuang’s office, knocked on the door and pushed it open without waiting for a response.

Ruan Hongzhuang, sitting behind the desk, looked up upon hearing the noise.

She was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, exuding a sensible and competent vibe.

"What is it?" she asked.

"It’s time to leave work." Jiang Taoshi said.

Ruan Hongzhuang turned to look out of the window beside her, seemingly checking the outside light, but she quickly reverted her gaze, removed her glasses, and pinched the bridge of her nose.

"What’s wrong? Is there any problem?" Jiang Taoshi immediately asked.

She knew Ruan Hongzhuang too well and could tell from her expression that there was something troubling her.

"There is a problem with one of our shipments." Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"Which shipping route? Are there any casualties?" Jiang Taoshi quickly inquired.

This detailed inquiry indicated that the company had faced such problems before.

"It’s the Red Sea Aden Bay route. The crew clashed with locals while docking at Djibouti for supplies, and the extent of injuries is still unclear." Ruan Hongzhuang explained.

Relieved, Jiang Taoshi felt these were minor frictions which could usually be resolved with money.

"I thought we were hit by a typhoon or pirates. Leave these matters to Manager Xiao."

Manager Xiao, mentioned by Jiang Taoshi, was Xiao Changsheng, the person in charge of six ocean vessels and a trusted aide of Ruan Xiangqian. After Ruan Hongzhuang established the shipping company, she assigned him to assist her.

Although Red Hearts International was much smaller in scale and power compared to Eastern Shipping, it was still a highly coveted position.

After all, Ruan Hongzhuang was the only heir of the Ruan Family, and Eastern Shipping would eventually be hers. Working closely with Ruan Hongzhuang now means contributing to a significant success, and even if not, still being a confidant. Handling the family business in the future would definitely require manpower.

Ruan Hongzhuang gave her a sideways glance, knowing that this cheerful girl wouldn’t fret about anything.

But she could not afford that attitude. Despite her words, she was the boss, and it was her responsibility to worry.

Financial loss was a minor issue — the major worry was if the ship was detained, delaying the delivery schedule, which could cost the company a considerable amount of money.

"Let’s go, stop thinking about it. Let’s eat."

Jiang Taoshi walked over and grabbed her arm.

"What’s the rush?" Ruan Hongzhuang slapped her hand away irritably.

"I told Shen Siyuan that we would go for hot pot tonight; he might be waiting for us." Jiang Taoshi said.

"Always eating... that’s all you think about." Ruan Hongzhuang responded promptly and got up.

"Then you don’t eat tonight, just watch us eat." Jiang Taoshi retorted.

Then Ruan Hongzhuang pinched her cheek.

Can’t debate with you, nor can I beat you?

-----------------

"Shen Siyuan, are you free tonight? How about our department has a dinner together?" Seeing that it was almost time to leave work, Zhang Hicheng stood up and said.

"Sure, boss, you are my guiding light." Long Shihai was the first to agree.

"Tonight? You should have told us earlier, boss, I already have plans." Guan Yanping said with a reluctant tone.

Zhao Guangcai and Ge Changsheng appeared indifferent.

"Yeah, boss, if you don’t want to spend time at home with your wife, you should’ve told us earlier, I have plans tonight too." Wei Suhua said.

"What nonsense are you talking? Where did you see that I don’t want to go home?" Zhang Hicheng quickly defended.

"Yes yes yes, whatever you say..." Guan Yanping said, laughing.

"Don’t yin and yang, you’ll eventually walk the path I’ve walked." Zhang Hicheng said irritably.

He implicitly admitted he didn’t want to go home after work.

Shen Siyuan found it strange, perhaps Zhang Hicheng quarreled with his wife or they weren’t getting along? That he wouldn’t want to return home after work.

Seeming to read Shen Siyuan’s thoughts.

Zhang Hicheng explained, "My relationship with my wife is very good, but... never mind, the more I say, the less you’d understand. You’ll get it once you’re married."

His colleagues expressed disdain upon hearing this.

"You always use that as an excuse."

Zhang Hicheng simply smiled and shook his head, much like speaking to the summer insects about ice.

At that moment, there was a faint knock on the door.

"Come in." Zhang Hicheng said casually.

Then the door opened, Ruan Hongzhuang pushed the door and entered, followed by Jiang Taoshi holding a water cup.

"President Ruan."

Seeing this, the others quickly got up.

"Work is over, you should go home and rest early," Ruan Hongzhuang said with a smile.

Then she turned her attention to Shen Siyuan: "Are we going for hotpot later, do you need to pick up Tang Tang first?"

"Yep." Shen Siyuan casually shut down his computer and stood up.

"Manager Zhang, I’m leaving first, bye."

"Oh, okay."

Zhang Hicheng watched dumbfounded as Ruan Hongzhuang naturally looped her arm through Shen Siyuan’s.

At lunchtime, he had eaten and returned to the office early, not witnessing the couple’s intimacy when they came back.

He was really starting to believe what Shen Siyuan had said.

It was President Ruan who pursued him, not the other way around.

When the three of them left, everyone in the network maintenance department sighed in unison.

It was not that they were sighing about President Ruan finally being ’taken’, they sighed because slacking off would be more difficult in the future.

Let alone President Ruan and Secretary Jiang’s constant coming and going which drastically increased their slacking off, Shen Siyuan himself was like a huge Buddha, making them wary of slacking off.

The current shift was already very oppressive.

-----------------

Mao Sanmei carried a plate of rice cakes towards Tang Tang; she wanted her daughter to try the rice cakes she made herself, not knowing whether she would like them or not.

The little one was sitting on the couch watching TV, watching Tom and Jerry.

This kind of almost silent animation was most suitable for her.

She already liked smiling with her mouth wide open, now she laughed even more, swaying her head like a bobblehead when she got too excited.

The room was filled with her giggles.

"I wonder when Xiao Shen and Ruan Ruan will get married, it would be nice if they could have such a cute baby too," Jiang Yingxue, sitting on a high stool, said to Fourth Aunt who was busy working.

"Mr. Shen is handsome, and our young mistress is beautiful, their future child will definitely be beautiful and adorable," Fourth Aunt naturally responded with pleasing words.

Hearing this, Jiang Yingxue laughed, but thinking of Shen Siyuan’s mother, Huang Huijuan, she couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.

How many years had it been, yet the grudge still remained?

However, she didn’t take it too seriously, worst case scenario they would just have a fight upon meeting.

She just didn’t know whom Xiao Shen would support at that time.

Thinking about this, Jiang Yingxue couldn’t help but laugh at her own thoughts.

Just then, Tang Tang suddenly turned her head towards the direction of the balcony.

Mao Sanmei, who was feeding her the rice cake, curiously followed her gaze.

But just then, Tang Tang wriggled her little bottom, got down from the sofa, and toddled toward the door.

Jiang Yingxue and Fourth Aunt looked at her curiously, wondering what she was up to.

But halfway through, Tang Tang turned back, looked around with her little head, and eventually noticed the row of high stools by the console, she immediately ran over and tried with all her might to drag one.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Yingxue asked curiously from beside her.

Tang Tang looked up at her, uttered "oh oh" a couple of times, and tried again, but the high stool didn’t budge.

She sighed deeply and then chose to give up.

Then she turned around and continued towards the front door.

Upon reaching the door, she just sat down and stared intently at the door.

Mao Sanmei walked over, wanting to pick her up, but Tang Tang twisted and turned like a little monkey, hard to catch, and Mao Sanmei didn’t dare to use too much force, finding herself in a sweat.

Jiang Yingxue walked over and stopped Mao Sanmei, indicating it was okay to let Tang Tang sit there.

Just then, the door was opened from outside, and Shen Siyuan appeared in front of everyone.

"hanhanhan..."

Tang Tang immediately stretched out her arms, happily rushing forward, grabbing onto Shen Siyuan’s legs.

Then, like a little monkey, she grabbed onto his trouser leg trying to climb up.

Shen Siyuan bent down, scooped her up with one arm, and tucked her under his arm.

"Have you been waiting here for me?" Shen Siyuan asked with a smile.

"hanhanhan..." Tang Tang’s little legs kicked joyfully in the air.

Jiang Yingxue, seeing this, was slightly surprised as she looked at Tang Tang, and then she also somewhat caught on.

Was this child really so miraculous?
